Limiting Reactant Demonstration

This video is a simple demonstration of limiting reactants. The materials that you will need are: baking soda, vinegar, three balloons, and three Erlenmeyer flasks. Take a look at the table at the beginning of the video for the amount of vinegar you will place in the bottom of your Erlenmeyer flasks and the amount of baking soda you will stuff inside of your balloons. Make sure your balloons are completely surrounding the Erlenmeyer flasks BEFORE you perform this demonstration. Hopefully, your class enjoys it!

Great demo! Thank you :)

[@zakhanafi2937]

Wow very educational demo !

[@lisauhlig3735]

Does this mean that the baking soda is the limiting reactant in the first reaction, in the second reaction none of them is in excess and in the third the limiting reactant is vinegar? I am sorry I just don’t get it 😂🙈

[@samratakbar883]

Great

[@klydebaguio2487]

How did you convert it???

[@ousmanfitness8132]

Klyde Baguio Yiu simply divide the mass by the molar mass

[@szyren8793]

Wait isnt HCO3 called carbonic acid? So why is NaHCO3 called Sodium bi"Carbonate"?

[@chemistryinaminute]

HCO3- is bicarbonate. H2CO3 is carbonic acid. 👍🏻

50g of vinegar will be 0.83261 mole. how did you come up sir with 0.0417?

[@chemistryinaminute]

The vinegar that you buy in the store is not 100% acetic acid. It’s usually only 5% by mass or so.

[@heidiwillard9204]

How are you getting 0.0417 moles of vinegar> I am getting 0.833

[@chemistryinaminute]

Remember that vinegar is mostly water and is only a small percent by volume of acetic acid 👍🏻👍🏻
